We’ve been a little obsessed with the BBC show Skins lately.  It is way better then anything we’ve seen on American TV.   The styling is brillant, I’ve seen a lot of beautiful items I recognize as UK brands, like shoes from Toast.

Our favorite character is Cassie, shown on the far right in a trompe l’oeil shirt by Top Shop.  Which got us thinking about how much we adore trompe l’oeil bow tie shirts, like the one we carry in the shop, by Iefke de Roos (middle picture).  Another lovely example is this shirt (first one pictured) by Pretty Raccoon.
